Allmusic[1]

Eduardo Rivadavia of allmusic gave the album three out of five stars, saying "this one-Dutchman operation spares no effort to advance black metal's misanthropic agenda, whether through sheer sonic terrorism (see sand-blasting onslaughts like "The Confusion of Tongues," "The Boat of Uta-Napishtim," and "Zaota"), or impressive avant-garde rule breaking (ergo the title track's free jazz percussion and synthesizer hiccups, the serpentine piano tap-dance of "I Am the Vine," and the bubbling synthesized orchestrations of "Rapture")."[1]
